Why this workflow matters
4K is useful for masters and editing, but often excessive for sharing, presentations, and mobile playback.
Steps
- Import the 4K video.
- Choose an output format and codec, then set resolution to 1080p.
- Choose a quality profile and destination, then start converting.
Supported range
4K (2160p) → 1080p · H.264 · HEVC
Compression and conversion happen locally on Mac. App Store download, purchase validation, restore purchases, update checks, or feedback you submit may require network access.
Before you start
- Keep a backup of important files before choosing to replace originals.
- Test a small batch first to verify format, quality, audio, and destination.
- Open or play the result on the target device or platform before delivery.
